Your support makes all the difference.Wiley has reignited his feud with Drake once again while also criticising Ed Sheeran and Nicki Minaj.
The British rapper, whose rivalry with Drake has been ongoing ever since he called the US artist a “culture vulture”, branded them “pagans” and “the two worse culture vultures on the planet”.
Wiley criticised Drake for showing up at the concerts of numerous UK rappers, including J Hus and Dave, as well as inviting them to join him on his own tour.
“I’m being held back cos @Drake obviously ain’t clearing @PopcaanMusic and @NICKIMINAJ is going to start her family… it’s a dead end,” he wrote on Twitter.
Wiley went on to suggest that Sheeran had used “his sound” on ”Take Me Back to London”, his collaboration with Stormzy.
Drake, who has previously called Wiley “goofy”, responded to his criticism earlier this year, saying: “I see a lot and I’ll never understand how supporting somebody’s song or even going a step further and giving somebody a song or linking up... how that’s not viewed as something admirable?”
He continued, “But I guess people have their own outlook on [that].”
Sheeran’s collaborations album features Eminem, Cardi B and Chance The Rapper.
